A change in locking of some kms drivers (currently intel-kms) make the old approach too inaccurate and also incompatible with the PREEMPT_RT realtime kernel patchset. The driver->get_scanout_position() method of intel-kms now needs to aquire a spinlock, which clashes badly with the former preempt_disable() calls in the drm, and it also introduces larger delays and timing uncertainty on a contended lock than acceptable. This patch changes the prototype of driver->get_scanout_position() to require/allow kms drivers to perform the ktime_get() system time queries which go along with actual scanout position readout in a way that provides maximum precision and to return those timestamps to the drm. kms drivers implementations of get_scanout_position() are asked to implement timestamping and scanoutpos readout in a way that is as precise as possible and compatible with preempt_disable() on a PREMPT_RT kernel. A driver should follow this pattern in get_scanout_position() for precision and compatibility: spin_lock...(...); preempt_disable_rt(); // On a PREEMPT_RT kernel, otherwise omit. if (stime) *stime = ktime_get(); ... Minimum amount of MMIO register reads to get scanout position ... ... no taking of locks allowed here! ... if (etime) *etime = ktime_get(); preempt_enable_rt(); // On PREEMPT_RT kernel, otherwise omit. spin_unlock...(...); v2: Fix formatting of new multi-line code comments.
